Another Life Destroyed By Radio Promotion

A male Connecticut corrections officer, collecting disability pay for a bad back, has been charged with worker's compensation fraud. In an attempt to win Hannah Montana tickets for his kids, he dressed in women's clothing -- including high heels -- to compete in a radio-station-sponsored "drag race." He won, and his name and face were plastered over local media, which are always psyched to cover freakish events of absolutely no importance.

Media reports piqued the curiosity of government officials, who sent local police to inquire how a man so disabled by back pain that he's being paid to not do his job could sprint 40 yards in high heels.

The amusing irony is, of course, that the former corrections officer will now likely go to jail, where he will have plenty of time to contemplate just how much Hannah Montana sucks.
